In reference to the SA vs. M Snell ratings, I believe the difference is this:
There is no difference between the "crash" ratings, they both face the same
requirements to be approved.
There is a difference in that SA is fire-resistant, while the M is not.
Generally, in a crash with a motorcycle, you probably wouldn't need the fire
protection, so the M helmets should be somewhat cheaper.
